The trial of a South Philadelphia teen in the double murder of two other teens began on Tuesday. Brandon Olivieri was 16-years-old in October 2017 when he allegedly shot and killed 16-year-olds Caleer Miller and Salvatore DiNubile on the street near 12th and Ritner streets. In opening statements, the prosecution said that Olivieri had been embarrassed by DiNubile in a previous fight and went looking for him that night. Olivieri pulled a gun and DiNubile was shot trying to get it away from him. Miller was Olivieri's friend and was hit in the crossfire. The defense claims the prosecution is based on 'inconsistencies, confusion and chaos.' They also point out that there is no gun or forensic evidence that points to his client. There have been heightened tensions in this trial between the two sides. There is added security with an extra metal detector and a courtroom with a glass separation.
